FOOTBALL.
The Junior and Third-class teams of the Red Star Club will meet in tl e Y.M.C.A. Rooms, this evening, at 7.30 o'clock, to elect committees, captains, etc. Mr Harold Byrne, well-known :'n Canterbury football circles, died in a private hospital in Christchurch, on Tuesday, after an operation for appendicitis. Mr Byrne was at o: e time a prominent footballer, and represented the Canterbury province in interprovincial matches in ltiQ4. A general meeting of the Master; ton Football Club was held in the Y.M.C.A. building last evening, and there was a large attendance of members. It was decided that owing to a large number of last year's senior pbyers having left tie district, it would be deemed inadvisable to enter a team in the Senior competition. Some of the seniors will play for the Red Stars this season, and so make a really first-class team from Masterton in the Senior championship. Ihe Masterton juniors will be fairly strong, and ought to be well up in the running for the Banner, while the Third-class team, by sticking together, ought to be one of the best teams in the competition, being comprised of most of last year's third-class team.
